For blemishes, and moderate dark circles, you can use concealer in a wand, which gives medium coverage. Maybelline makes a great one called Age Rewind. One side has a wand for correcting imperfections, and the other side has a highlighter brush for dark circles around the eyes. For those that have deep set lines, and wrinkles, you can use the highlighter on those areas as well. Use two fingers to space the skin, and then apply the highlighter into crease/wrinkle. Blend lightly with your finger, or sponge, and follow with foundation, and a touch of powder to set.
For those that have deep pigmentation on skin, or want to cover a bruise, tatoo, etc. you can use a stick foundation. You can use either a concealer, or foundation brush to apply. (These types of brushes contain longer, firmer, smoother brissles/hairs than other types of makeup brushes). Be sure to blend gently with a sponge using a stippling motion (tapping makeup into skin, not rubbing it). You can use a little foundation over it, and be sure to blend the makeup, and set it with a touch of powder.
Whatever type of concealor/foundation you need, be sure it is creamy, but not greasy. Look for oil free products. Makeup containing mineral oil/petroleum can settlle into pores, lines, and wrinkles. They tend to smudge/crease after a while, and can make you look aged, not to mention cause allergies, or other health risks.
